Audrey Hepburn not only evolved personally and professionally to gain more confidence as an actress, but also transformed Hollywood and society's view of femininity and fashion, and provided a template for celebrity diplomacy.

With so many great reasons to visit Rome, it's a task in itself to narrow down the must-see attractions. With more than 900 churches alone - that's more than two church visits every day for a year - it's unlikely that you will fit everything into one visit. So, don't try and rush around the city to see every ruin or piazza - save it for your next holiday to Rome!

A sports car won't make you grow a bigger penis and a spritz of Chanel will never bag you a Brad Pitt so don't buy into it. A smear of lipstick won't leave you looking like Kate Moss and all the isotonic sports drinks in the world won't give you thighs like Chris Hoy.

I love fashion and I love shopping. I love timeless style and old school Hollywood glamour. I love plush interiors and quirky gardens and the latest beauty trends. With this in mind, you would think I would love art.

To the catwalk, where ponies on crack are clip-clopping up and down and down and up a plank of haute couture, where thighs are abolished, a grumpy bob and sunglasses on a stick is God and trends are carved into the tablet of seasonal commandments. London Fashion Week is here.

A new 'crop' of Hollywood's leading ladies are stepping out with ultra-short hair. Some, like Harry Potter star, Emma Watson have used a dramatic change to mark the end of an era, while others, like actress, Carey Mulligan have chosen a soft, short cut to perfectly compliment delicate features.

As I walk through the doors I almost feel like I'm stepping in to a fabulous fifties film set. Bellboys efficiently buzzing to guests' whims, florists preening fresh fragrant lilies and bartenders shaking up Martinis. It's opulence at its best, the atmosphere is enthralling.

The world needs strong women who make no apologies for who they are and for what they believe. Nora Ephron is up there as a forthright woman, dedicated to making a difference and staying true to her beliefs.

I really wanted to like Secret People more than I did. Made within a year of The Gentle Gunman (1952), another Ealing project around terrorism (although about the IRA rather than the unidentified and Europe-wide 'Organisation' at the heart of this film), Secret People is obviously trying to do something different with its story, but I'm uncertain it succeeds or is as morally ambiguous as it claims to be.
